rebirth of change

Putting down the phone, Jorma Ollila immediately called the vice president to ask if it was true. 【 】

When he found out that it was true, Jorma Ollila was very annoyed, "Then why didn't you report to me, why did you reject the other party, don't you know that we will focus on developing the eastern market? The competition in the European market is fierce , The U.S. market has always been Motorola’s exclusive market. I originally planned to focus on East Asia, which is experiencing rapid economic growth, but you directly rejected the other party.”

"But when they came, you were in South Korea, so it was not easy to report, but after you returned to Finland, our company's stock market plummeted again. I didn't have time to say that I had never heard of the company I came to. , and it’s not a state-owned company, so it can’t be said in China, so I just…”

"Do you know why our stock market plummeted? This is someone's revenge, warning revenge, do you understand? This is how they tell us their strength, just because of your simple thinking, let our company Hundreds of millions of dollars were lost for no reason.” Before the other party finished speaking, Jorma Ollila almost roared.

"No way? They have such great strength?" The vice president obviously didn't believe it.

"No? They have already called my office. Forget it, let's not talk about it. I will ask the board of directors to consider your reappointment." Jorma Ollila really didn't want to chatter with this assistant any longer. This kind of assistant who lacks strategy and strategic thinking almost pushed the company to the end. It is better not to let him participate in high-level decision-making, otherwise he will not know what will happen next time.

From Monday, Nokia's stock price began to rise, and by Wednesday, it had risen to the normal level of last Monday, that is, on this day, the vice president was changed to the general manager of Eastern Europe. Participate in decision-making at the top of the company.

Ouyang Zhenhua instructed his subordinates to raise the share price of Nokia, and he did not lose any money, because they bought at a low price before and sold a large amount at a high price. With Nokia, they still have something to gain.When it comes to making money, doing business is really not as fast as the financial market.

On Thursday morning, Nokia's share price was still rising. It was also on this morning that Jorma Ollila called Ouyang Zhenhua.

"Mr. Ollila, I thought you would call yesterday." Ouyang Zhenhua's tone was as if he was sure about Yoma Ollila.

"I'm sorry, I was dealing with some company's personnel issues yesterday," Yoma Ollila said tactfully.

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Zhenhua knew that the vice president who rejected Zhao Rundong would be in trouble, but no matter what the reason was, he couldn't point it out.

"Okay, Mr. Ollila, have you considered cooperating with me?".

"First of all, thank you Mr. Ouyang for your help, but I don't quite know what kind of cooperation method you are talking about?", Jorma Ollila has not forgotten the credit for raising Nokia's stock price, which is to establish a friendly gesture At the same time, he really didn't understand what the other party's cooperation proposal was.

"Well, I can't make it clear on the phone, how about we meet and talk?" Ouyang Zhenhua mentioned euphemistically.

"Come to Hong Kong?" Jorma Ollila was very conscious. At this time, he never thought of letting others come to Helsinki.

"Oh, no, no, go to Qianzhou, if possible, please ask Mr. Yoma Ollila to come to Qianzhou, let's have a good talk there, how about it?" Chen Kangjie asked to do so many things, That's the real purpose.

"Qianzhou?...", this is the first time Yoma Ollila has heard of this place name, so I haven't figured out where it is yet.

Although Chen Kangjie has done a lot of work, as far as Qianzhou is concerned, it is still not well known to outsiders, especially Westerners who don't know much about China.Even the top executives of western companies who plan to invest in China mostly only know the capital, Mingzhu, Guangzhou, Pengcheng and other places, and their understanding of the west is almost blank.

"Yes, when you arrive at Qianzhou Zhucheng Airport, someone will pick you up. Is there a problem?"

"No problem, I'll arrange the company's affairs, and I'll start tomorrow." Jorma Ollila is a quick-witted person with great courage. Otherwise, Nokia would not have sprung up in just a few years. Developed into their world's largest market.

. . . . . .

On June, the president of Nokia, who had never set foot on the land of Qianzhou, finally transferred from Capital International Airport to Zhucheng Airport after more than ten hours of flying. He personally brought a convoy to meet Yoma Ollila and his party of six.

They didn't go to Liuzhi to meet Chen Kangjie immediately, but accompanied by Zhao Rundong, some of them first visited Anycall Communications Company, especially the research center. When they saw that there were two to three thousand researchers in the research center of Anycall Communications Company Being busy, there are Chinese and Westerners, and Jorma Ollila is moved by it. This is the strongest R&D team he has seen in China, and it is also the most tolerant R&D team.

They only looked at the research department of a company called Anycall Communications. If Guowei Software and Coy were added, the research center, which currently has 8000 people, would appear even larger.Coupled with the three towering domestic headquarters buildings being built next to the sky, needless to say, the strength of this company is already very clear.

Zhao Rundong and Jorma Ollila did not have any actual talks, but just walked with him to let him know the strength of anycall communication company first. After a day, Zhao Rundong took Jorma Ollila and his party Going to the six, Ouyang Zhenhua also flew from Hong Kong at the same time.

There was only half a month before the senior high school entrance examination, and Chen Kangjie couldn't leave at all, so they could only choose six venues for the negotiation, completely taking care of Chen Kangjie's needs.

"Mr. Ollila, you are welcome to visit Qianzhou. How do you feel?" Chen Kangjie and Ouyang Zhenhua welcomed Jorma Ollila on the steps in front of Master Kong's office building. Chen Kangjie was with Yorma When Ollila shook hands, he asked casually.

"Very good, the climate is very similar to ours in Finland, neither hot nor cold." Ollila didn't want to talk about how the company is doing or how R&D is doing, as that would be detrimental to his subsequent negotiations, and he chose to speak up like other Westerners. Talk about the weather.

In fact, Yoma Ollila was still very puzzled, why did he go to a food company so far away to discuss in detail, this place is obviously lagging behind the provincial capital, and Ouyang Zhenhua, who talked with him on the phone, explained clearly, But who was this young man who asked him? Zhao Rundong who accompanied him only introduced "Mr. Chen".

"Yes, I know Finland is beautiful and the environment is very good. I really want to have a chance to see it. Please, let's go upstairs and talk." Chen Kangjie said casually.

The group did not sit at opposite ends of the conference table like a normal negotiation, and came to Ouyang Zhenhua's office on the top floor. There were only five people involved, Chen Kangjie, Ouyang Zhenhua, Zhao Rundong, Yorma Ollila and One of his top assistants.The rest of the entourage were entertained elsewhere by Liu Kai and Ouyang Zhenhua's secretary Lisa.

"Both, coffee? Tea? Coke? Or mineral water?" Because he was in Ouyang Zhenhua's office, he naturally took on the role of a waiter.

"Chinese tea is very famous, let's drink tea as the Romans do," said Jorma Ollila with a smile.

Chen Kangjie was very satisfied with Yoma Ollila's close attitude. Since it was tea, Ouyang Zhenhua directly moved the rosewood Kung Fu tea set to the coffee table, so that everyone could relax and chat while drinking tea. The selected tea is the top-quality green buds from Tanmei County, Qianzhou. In fact, Chen Kangjie later learned that many top-quality Tieguanyin and Longjing are made from green tea from Tanmei County.

"Mr. Ollila, try our local tea. What's your company's view on the Chinese market?" Chen Kangjie put a small cup of tea that Ouyang Zhenhua had brewed in front of Yoma Ollila, asked casually.

"Thank you." Yoma Ollila picked up the small purple sand cup and drank the hot yellow-green tea like Chen Kangjie, "Well, this tea is really good. I haven't drunk it before. . . . We have always attached great importance to the Chinese market. We have actually entered a long time ago, but the scale has always been very limited. Looking at it today in the 90s, we judge that the Chinese market has great potential, and it is very likely that it will surpass Japan and become second only to the United States. The second largest mobile communication market".

In 94, Jorma Ollila did not dare to predict that the Chinese market would overtake the American market. After all, the market there was very mature, with high levels of affluence and strong purchasing power of consumers. Too shallow, the poverty is still deep, and it is still difficult to spread this high-consumption method that only a very small number of people can use. That is to say, he is confident in China's economic future, but it is still not Can't grasp what specific situation will be achieved.

"Hehe, when you go back to Finland, I'll give you some to take home to drink," Chen Kangjie said with a smile.

"But I don't know this complicated tea art."

"This is not tea art. The real tea art is much more complicated than this. In fact, you can just use a cup and add boiling water, which is easier than making coffee," Ouyang Zhenhua said modestly.

"Mr. Ollila, your choice is correct. The Chinese market will indeed become a very broad market in the future. As for whether it will be the second largest or the largest market, it is still too early, but one thing is certain. , that is the potential is unlimited. I would like to express my apologies for what happened last week. That is what I suggested. Work together to break the monopoly of Ericsson and Motorola", Chen Kangjie talked frankly and brought the topic to the focus of today's conversation.
